But, without a blue-chip education, and without a complete first-term as Governor, and only the experience of governing of a very sparsely populated state (smaller than the city of Austin, TX) she would get crushed by Obama, even if the economy doesn't get any better.
On election day, 60% of the country didn't think she was prepared to be VP. That's not going to improve with just 10 additional months of gubernatorial experience. And, with the exception of Iowa, I don't think she'd really do very well in the primaries.
Palin had a tremendous amount of potential, but for the foreseeable future, she has sidelined her political career. And, I'm not entirely unconvinced that's just not what she wanted.
>>On election day, 60% of the country didn’t think she was prepared to be VP.
On election day, 52% of the country thought that an inexperienced, first-term Senator who had never held a real job in his life was prepared to the POTUS.
Constant press coverage of the Left’s talking points created the images that drove both statistics.
Typical elitism. Palin has common-sense and traditional values. Who cares if she didn't graduate from Harvard?
and without a complete first-term as Governor
She was chosen for VP, she was elected Governor to begin with, and she has 17 years of experience under her belt.
and only the experience of governing of a very sparsely populated state (smaller than the city of Austin, TX)
Alaska has many issues in terms of geography, climate, natural resources, and foreign policy. All of these plus the massive size of the state makes it just as challenging as if she was Governor of a lower 48 state.

Pure BS.
